I complained to the police regarding the incident, but that woman made a false statement that I set myself on fire. All my expectations to build a house and to help her mother has been shattered.

She requested the authorities to make arrangements for her to return to Sri Lanka to obtain further treatment, and to negotiate with the Saudi government to claim compensation from the employer.
